Second Body Recovered After Lions Bay Landslide Kills Two Residents
Barbara and David Enns, longtime Lions Bay residents, were killed when a mudslide destroyed their home during a severe windstorm in British Columbia.
- Barbara Enns' body was recovered on December 21, a week after the December 14 mudslide that claimed her and her husband David's lives.
- The mudslide, caused by a powerful windstorm with gusts up to 115 km/h, swept the couple's home off its foundation in Lions Bay, B.C.
- The Village of Lions Bay, with a population of about 1,400, has declared a local state of emergency and continues recovery efforts.
- A 2018 geohazard report highlighted risks to housing in Lions Bay, but the village lacked a comprehensive assessment of these dangers at the time.
- Environment Canada has warned of additional strong storms expected to impact British Columbia's south coast in the coming days, including Christmas Day.
